The Mount Vernon Clinic scheduled for Monday, December 19, 2022 has been cancelled due to extreme cold, slippery road conditions and more snow in the forecast. Hopefully the clinic will return to our regular 3rd Monday schedule in January, 2023. – Al Carter, Temporary Clinic Chairperson

Eastside Clinic December 22
By Russ Segner
Our Eastside Clinic will be held at 7PM December 22 with Zoom.
Our program will be a show and tell. What do you have on your workbench? Share with us some pictures and tell us about a project you are working on. Take us on a tour of your layout or, lead a brief discussion on a topic you want some help with.
I will share a new kit I am working on. If you want to present, email me with your topic at russseg@gmail.com or call me at 206 200 2211.
The link to the meeting will be published next week to any who contact me by email or watch for it in the Grab Iron.

It’s Summer Vacation at the North End Clinic Thursday, December 1, 2022
Come in the from the cold, draw up a chair, and join our monthly virtual clinic tomorrow night! This month we are happy to have Jacob Wright to present Jacob’s Summer Train Adventure.
Jacob, who lives on Orcas Island, had a summer vacation to remember on the mainland–taking the Amtrak Empire Builder to Chicago, going to the Bay Area to see Jim Providenza’s, Seth Neumann’s, Dave Adams’ layouts (and many, many others), and attending operating sessions here in the PNW.
I look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow night! Here’s the zoom info:

Come Learn Some New Facts about the UP at the Seattle Virtual Clinic: Thursday, November 3 at 7pm
October was really busy this year — but in a good way. There were TRAIN SHOWS!!
It was nice to see many of you (in person) in Lynden and then two weeks later in Maple Valley. The 4D HO Free-Mo group had a setup at the Tacoma Holiday Food & Gift Fest, so some of us had a third weekend this month to run trains. So many trains, so little time……
That being said, it’s time for the Seattle/North End monthly virtual clinic. The meeting is this Thursday, November 3. So grab your leftover Halloween candy and join us for an hour or so of talking about train.
This month Aidan Murray will be giving a presentation on the Union Pacific Railroad called Interesting Union Pacific Equipment and Operations. A history buff, Aidan not only studies all aspects of the U.S. rail industry, but likes to find odd facts and/or anomalies about railroads and their equipment.
Here is the Zoom information:
